update, it's been almost 3 weeks

Hi everyone! It has been almost 3 weeks since my surgery! I have been terrible with keeping you updated but my body has been so out of wack and I have been so tired. I decided to update you all while I have a second to do so. Surgery went well. My pre-op weight was 281, I had my post-op appointment yesterday and I am now 245! It's amazing how much more different I do feel with that weight off. I actually feel my ankles! I'm feeling great, tired but great.

The surgery part was easy, it was doing the after care and the after diet that is hard. I am having a hard time with certain things I eat, drink, and smell. I get nauseous sometimes, I throw up if something does not sit well, and my sense of smell is just so very different. My senses are so heightened and there are certain things that I do smell that will make me feel ill. Other than the nausea and throwing up, things are back to normal sort of.

Besides my weight loss, I got a full time job! I'll be the children's advocate for the battered women's shelter I worked at before. I'm so excited and this is an opportunity of a lifetime. I am looking forward to going to work full time. It'll be different but I'll be able to push through! Sorry this is short, I am feeling a nap coming soon! Hope all is well, I will try and keep everyone updated more than I have been!
